I'm not sure about /etc/shadow but you should be able to transfer the 
mailboxes just fine.  Setup a test system and try it out is probably 
the best way to go.  If the same machine is going to be hosting 
websites, I'd recommend setting up a jail each for mail and web.  I'm 
setting up a 3rd system with this setup right now and it works great.
